Ajay Singh Shares Journey from Newsrooms to Rashtrapati Bhavan with Chitkara University Students

Chitkara University had the distinct honour of hosting Ajay Singh, a seasoned journalist, author, and currently the Press Secretary to the Hon’ble President of India, for an insightful and inspiring session with students and faculty. The event served as a unique platform to explore the vital intersections between media, governance, and public communication.

In his address, Ajay Singh took the audience through his remarkable professional journey—from the fast-paced world of journalism to the esteemed role at the nation’s highest constitutional office. His narrative was rich with reflections on the evolution of print media, the rise of digital platforms, and the unchanging importance of ethical journalism, truth, and public trust.

He emphasised that in today’s hyper-connected world, credibility and responsibility in storytelling are more crucial than ever. Through engaging anecdotes and thoughtful observations, he encouraged students to embrace journalism not just as a profession, but as a public responsibility that shapes democratic discourse and societal values.

The session was further elevated by the presence of Dr. Sandhir Sharma, Vice Chancellor, Chitkara University, who expressed gratitude for Ajay Singh’s visit and shared the University’s continued commitment to academic excellence and socially conscious education.

A dynamic Q&A session followed, where students enthusiastically engaged with Ajay Singh on the realities of national narrative-building, media ethics, and the future of public communication. His thoughtful responses and grounded perspectives left a lasting impression on aspiring media professionals.

Chitkara University remains steadfast in its endeavour to host such meaningful dialogues that not only educate but also inspire future leaders to lead with purpose, integrity, and civic awareness.
